Official Docker Image?

[movermeyer]

As cliche as it might be, it would be nice to have an official searchcode Docker image. That way people who wanted to try out the server could just docker run -d searchcode and have a working searchcode server.

Here is a basic Dockerfile that does this.

It probably needs a little bit more work in order to match the Dockerfile best practices.

Hi @movermeyer it is something I am planning on getting around to. I registered searchcode in dockerhub in anticipation of doing so. I am not an expert in docker but I agree its probably worth the effort.

Just in case you were looking for one, there is this one https://hub.docker.com/r/arkii/searchcode-server-community/ provided by @arkii however he has also asked if I would provide an official one.

[movermeyer]

Excellent. Thanks.

Or @boyter , you can create a docker-build repo , and setup a hook, so that docker image could be automatic build, people also can help you to maintain it.

That's the idea. I am not a docker expert (I have very little experience with it but will attempt to create one.

Hey, just curious if this ever happened? 2016 is a little while ago now.. 😉

[boyter]

I am ashamed to admit no... nothing has happened. I should look into it again.

Life gets in the way.. :)

To be honest my distractions are usually my own fault.
